Mission Statement

The Crest Advisory Board, through its membership, strives to build a symbiotic and
trusting relationship between the members of the Pepperdine University family and
the people of surrounding communities.

This sense of community, founded in spiritual enlightenment and measured by a commitment
to continuing excellence, is exemplified by:

Facilitating forums for the meaningful exchange of information, thus educating both
the University and the community about issues of mutual importance;

Supporting and integrating academic, cultural, and athletic projects stimulating to
the University and the community;

Advising students and members of the community, both present and future, on matters
of significance; and

Demonstrating, by its action and membership, a true ambassadorship for the ideals
of higher education in the Pepperdine tradition.
